GameSpot have scooped a preview of Hearts of Iron 2 from Paradox Entertainment. Here's a clip to get you started:

Hearts of Iron 2, as its name suggests, is the sequel to 2001's sprawling World War II strategy game from developer Paradox Entertainment, the same company responsible for the Europa Universalis games. In many ways, Hearts of Iron was a World War II adaptation of the highly flexible Europa Universalis engine, only instead of steering a single European nation from the 1400s to the 1700s, in Hearts of Iron you could take control of any number of the combatants involved in World War II. The original Hearts of Iron received good marks for its depth, but it also suffered from the complexity inherent in the Europa Universalis engine. With Hearts of Iron 2, Paradox is looking to enhance the gameplay, but also make it a bit more streamlined for gamers.
